This graph shows an indicative pathway to net zero emissions for the highest emission sources contributing to the
Noosa Community carbon footprint. It should be noted that this data is from 3rd parties and may be subject to error.

Council recognises that the Community emission profile is incomplete as the data is not yet available for the agriculture
sector, nor the carbon drawdown potential of vegetation and landuse change. Council will update the emissions profile
